    By far the best pop album at there, literally it has no skips. Its rare to find a album that is cohesive and lyrically amazing, I like that she uses different genres with each song , I'm impressed with the growth from her debut.Great Job Camila!!!!! The album is on REPEAT!

    Although the principle is confusing, the album has good songs, Camila Cabello managed to show her purpose with their songs, adding emotional tracks that address especially the feeling of love, to see its evolution in the production. it’s not perfect, it has its flaws, but its a nice album to listen.

    to be honest, i was waiting a bit more, but Camila makes you fall in love with this album. the album is great, from lyrically to musically. she should experiment more, like she did with bad kind of butterflies, which is my favourite. if you're looking for a really good pop album, this is your choice.

    Camila's second album belongs to a very interesting and fundamentalist aesthetic. 'Romance' is what the Cuban girl has meant since her debut debut album, yet this material is undoubtedly a visible evolution of the artist who remains confused about her feelings but who this time has managed to show them well through your lyrics.

    This is such a good album, we can se that she really tried new things while creating this body of work, doing something different comparing to her debut self-titled album. Se came with different genres and tempos and she did THAT with the vocals. The album tells a love story combined in three chapters: Chapter one: Camila being in a relationship while wanting someone else.

    Chapter two: Camila leaving this other person and going to her love.
    Chapter three: A wedding, that is described on the track “First man”. (And I really loved that bc she stayed true to her roots, bc in latin telenovelas, EVERYTHING, ends up in a wedding, and camila once said she just loved them!) Anyways, it’s a really enjoyable album, Camila did great, there were only one or two songs that seemed kinda off, but looking at the full project, belíssimo!

    Camila Cabello's 'Romance' is a big step in her career. Her sounds and lyrics had a big grow, and it's so much better than her first album, 'Camila' (which is also very good though). It's good to see that she's not an ex-Fifth Harmony anymore, she's Camila Cabello.

    It’s not perfect, but it’s still very beautiful. She hits the mark perfectly on the idea of romance on first man, used to be, living proof and easy.
    Dream of you could use a lot less auto tune as well as this love, but the rest don’t stick. Bad kind of butterflies is really pretty, but I can’t say much else about it. She debuted this album with in my opinion the worst single of the album

    Love is huge and there is a ton of ways to love and people to adore. In an album called "Romance" I personally think that all this kinds of love (to your partner, parents, for life, to your hometown) should be represented. Camila, however, has decided to reduce love to the romantic relationship one.

That isn't much, though.
    The album has an undeniable perfect production that fits perfectly with Camila's vocals. Songs like "My Oh My" or "Bad Kind of Butterflies" are funny and terrifying at the same time. Please stick to your habitual producer Camila, he/she's doing an amazing work.
    The album has an excellent concept but, as communism, the idea is brilliant but, in the practice, it isn't as good as we thought. The idea of talking about love being only 22 and having that little experience following the singer's words is interesting. She sounds deeply in love in this album but it tries to evolve to a breakup and then to a recovery that I, honestly, don't believe has happened to her. It feels a bit forced even though the album is great.

    Cabello’s willingness to assist in [the music industry’s embrace of the “Latin” sound] caricature elsewhere distracts from the otherwise interesting Spanish-classical and Santana-esque riffs on Romance.

    Throughout “Romance,” the pop machinery clicks cleverly and efficiently into place around Cabello’s voice.
